Dating the right woman

reene_zelweger_and_tom_cruise_in_jerry_maguireThe life of single dad is not easy. My seven year old son and I tries to live it as normal as we could without his mom. Occasionally, I meet nice ladies in social gatherings, dated but never had a serious relationship with anyone. A matter of priorities maybe, but it is more than that. Women, nowadays, are more serious and choosy. You may have the right tricks on how to seduce a woman up your sleeves, but you are no match on how uncanny they are in detecting those moves.

Dating the right woman for a subject can be a bit controversial, and maybe offensive to some –my apologies. It is also too broad. I am not an expert in this arena, but I can prolly share a few on how to be a player in the dating game.

Dating the right woman is a myth. What you may seemingly decided to be the right one could be that wrong, vis-a-vis, the wrong one could have been the right one after all. So, how do you ensure that you are dating the right woman? Here is how to reach home plate without striking out (Disclaimer: these things might prolly work. ^_^):

First base: spend enough time on the preliminaries by finding basic info about her. Remember the slum book in high school? There are a few questions there that are useful, try them out. Casually ask her or other people associated with her about these basic questions. Getting it from here directly? Well, the key of course, is engaging her in a casual conversation and keeping her interested on the discussion, and allowing her reveal this info freely without prying.

Second base: find out what ticks her. What are her interests? Do you share the same interests with her? If not, are you inclined to pursue the same interest? At least learn something about those interests. Knowing her interest shows that you are sincere, and interested in knowing her –not the biblical sense, silly. That’s the home run. ^_^

The thirds base: reading between the lines and understanding the unspoken words. Most women are not wordy; unless when you are already in the relationship where she tends to be historical and hysterical, forgive the pun, when you have committed something repulsive or deplorable. Most of them communicate powerfully through their body language. Does she pay attention when you talk? Does she cast a second glance when you leave her or when you are a few meters away from her? Is he excited whenever you ask her of those things that interest her? A lot of things they wanted to say are not verbalized, so learn to read between the lines.

Home plate: if you think she is the right woman to date, ask her out.

So, do the above help? I told you, they might.
